An Open-Label, Multi-Center Phase I/IIa Study Evaluating the Safety and Clinical Activity of Neoantigen Reactive T cells in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (CHIRON)
Summary
This is a first-in-human, open-label, phase I/IIa study to characterise the safety and clinical activity autologous clonal neoantigen T cells (cNeT) administered intravenously in adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Objective
Primary Objective:
-To assess the safety and tolerability of ATL001 therapy.
Secondary Objective:
-To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ATL001 using RECIST v1.1 and imRECIST.
Exploratory Objectives:
-To evaluate the persistence, phenotype and functionality of NAR-T cells and to explore possible relationships with clinical outcomes.
-To evaluate potential biomarkers of clinical activity and factors affecting response.
-To evaluate manufacturing rate and factors that may affect the quality of ATL001.
-To evaluate the utility of a bespoke plasma ctDNA assay.
-To evaluate pleural fluid as a source of T cells and free tumor DNA.
